Resumen
Architectural competitions have historically been instances where individual genius is celebrated, shaping the prestige and identity of their protagonists -evident, for example, in the prominence of awards like the Pritzker Prize. However, competitions are undergoing a profound transformation in the digital age. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other digital technologies challenge the humanist tradition of singular authorship, favoring more collaborative and participatory models. By tracing this shift, this article raises key questions about the tension between technological innovation and the persistence of individualistic practices. It offers an incisive reflection on the role of algorithm-driven processes and their potential to redefine both architectural practice and the collective production of space.
